"There is far too much negativity being directed at someone who I love and care about very much," Jenner shared.

"I feel the need to set the story straight. Kaitlynn and I have been best friends for 6 years, and we continue to be. We, like many others before us and many after us, grew in different directions over those same 6 years," he continued.

"Kaitlynn is a wonderful person, beautiful and fun to be with, always a positive force in my life," he wrote. "We decided the best move for both of us was to keep our love for each other strong but move forward separately with our lives. I respect Kaitlynn and care deeply about her. She deserves to be able to move forward in her life with respect and happiness."
